I noticed you posted something written by Terry<\/a> on your website. This was shared publicly by Terry from a private group and was a casual conversation.

This includes private communications, such as letters or posts to private forums, so long as private information (address, phone number, Social Security number, etc.) is not disclosed. In the case of fair use, the permission of the original author is not required.<\/p>\n I teach computer ethics at times. You need to understand that anything you post on the Internet is not truly private. From what I understand, the group you posted in, while private in its membership does not ask its members to keep the things posted in the group private.<\/p>\n I’m sorry that you don’t wish to acknowledge ownership of your own words. I mentioned your objection to Terry and he suggested replacing your name with “Orthodox Church member,” which has been done.<\/p>\n Question: I noticed you posted something written by Terry on your website.
